Abstract:

In this paper I intend to explore the concept of establishing Producer Groups.
I see the establishment of such groups as a way of establishing a better link with processors and exporters and a way of establishing a premium for the groups produce.
It is my opinion that Producer groups only really suit dedicated farmers striving for high performance out of their business.
